How many calories ... in an Arby's Turkey and Swiss Sandwich?

Categories: How Many Calories?

I'm not much of a red meat eater, but I do love a good turkey sandwich, so when I saw that Arby's had introduced a line of Market Fresh Sandwiches, I was pumped. Veggies, some lean protein and fresh multigrain bread are an ideal alternative to processed cheese sauces on fatty cuts of meat in white bread. I was even more excited when I tried them -- they're delicious! But my experience has told me that delicious things from fast-food restaurants are sometimes too good to be true. Is this one of those instances? Let's see. How many calories does the Roast Turkey and Swiss sandwich at Arby's have?

a) 869 cal, 65 g of fat

b) 725 cal, 30 g of fat

c) 550 cal, 24 g of fat

d) 466 cal, 18 g of fatThe answer is B) 725 cal, 30 g of fat. In a sandwich. A sandwich that consists of a couple of slices of Turkey breast, a slice of cheese, a slice of lettuce and some sauce. That is some fatty sauce, I tell ya. Actually, there are pretty much no healthy options in the Sandwich category, so I would suggest going for a salad with grilled chicken - those hover around 300 calories without dressing. Actually, I'd be better off getting the processed meat in a bun with fake cheese sauce than I would either the sandwich or salad -- An Arby's melt is only 303 cal and 12 g of fat. Scary!
